For the Love of an Angel

Chapter Twenty Seven

GENTLENESS

"Bilang mga nilalang na biniyayaan ng Ama ng liwanag, taglay ng mga tao ang mga bunga ng liwanag na 'yon. Isa sa mga bunga na ito ay ang pagiging maamo. Ngunit dahil hindi magawa ng mga tao na palabasin ang liwanag mula sa kanilang mga kaluluwa, hindi rin nila naipapakita ang likas at tunay na ugaling ito..." — Uriel, Angelic Doctrines LXXVI

Months passed...

You heard it right, Guys. Months passed. Meaning, nag-jump forward ako sa story. Sorry naman. Ayoko na kasing i-narrate in detail yung mga events that happened after the previous chapter. Masyado kasing cheesy yung Ja-bel love team and to tell you frankly, nauumay na 'ko sa kanila. Hahaha...

Well, too sweet to be true naman kasi si James kay Isabel. Yung casanova sweetness niya dati which victimized a big number of girls, inilabas niya lahat kay Isabel who became the only apple of his eyes. 'Only' nga ba? Oo naman. And of course, it was pure love talaga. I could tell, since ako yung guardian angel ni James and I could read his heart and mind. Yun nga lang, although kilig na kilig ako sa kanila at first, I ended up na nauumay na.

I'll summarize na lang for you, Guys...

Well, lagi lang namang magkasama sila James and Isabel ever since they admitted to each other na mahal nila yung isa't isa. Isabel would assist James in everything he would do, from the moment na gigising siya in the morning, to the time that he would sleep at night. And since angel nga yung lola nyo, who actually could afford not to sleep, mega-bantay pa rin si Isabel kay James even during the late hours at night.

And then of course, nandun yung over over over sweetness nila na nakakaumay na nga. The holding hands, the hugs, the kisses, plus the sweet words na kinikilig ako dati.

Whenever ipinu-push ni Isabel si James sa wheelchair, without warning, magwi-whisper si James sa kanya ng 'I love you', and he would lean his head towards her.

Magre-reply naman si Isabel ng 'I love you too', and she would cuddle James inside her arms and her chest.

Whenever magkatabi sila sa bed, James would say, "Thank you for being with me." Then he would wrap his arm around her.

And automatic na yung response ni Isabel, "Wala yun. Mahal kita..." And she would nestle in his embrace.

Wala pa yan. Sample pa lang yan.

They would eat together, with matching subuan. They would sleep together, magkayakap magdamag. They would talk, laugh, watch movies, sound trip, play video games—always together and parang ayaw na talaga nilang magkalayo even by a few inches.

Nakakakilig ba?

Well, ako nasusuya na...

Fortunately naman, they didn't make out, they didn't do s*x, they didn't even touch each other with passion. Somehow, miraculously, nache-check ni James yung seed of lust sa soul niya. Mas nag-e-enjoy siya sa nafi-feel niya with pure love whenever magkasama sila. Miraculously, nagiging gentleman na siya.

Well, pure love na nga yata talaga. Pwede nang mag-trending yung Ja-bel loveteam nila sa social media.

Pero ayun na nga, since umay na 'ko talaga sa over-over na sugar sweetness nila, most of the time, I would stay na lang sa labas ng Ledesma residence. Tambay na lang ako way up in the air, where I could make eavesdrop sa mga radio waves from TV broadcasts, AM and FM radio stations, mobile phone calls and text messages, Globe, Smart, Sun, etcetera. Yes, Peeps, we can do that. Hehehe...
